New YOrk-The Turf Outt0ok'

from the East, after having enJoyeu
triumph such as few breeders OF
horse flesh on the American continent
have known. He took with him to
the metropolis a collection OF some
thirty colts, sultan's get. These year
linss brought, under the hammer,
the enormous average OF 500 and
upward apiece. This rs simply some
thing unprecedented. Sultan, who
was a short time ago sold by Mr..
Rose to breeder in Lexington, Ken
lucky, to be taken back to that State,
was one of the most extraordinary
trotting stations on record. Young
as he is, his get embraces such colts
as Sweetheart, Ruby and others OF
scarcely less renown, together with
the stations Alcazar and Stamboul,
which perhaps surpass their sire IN
other respects as they do in speed.
When it is borne in mind that many
breeders in Kentucky have put IN
decades, with multitudinous stables,
without producing single colt up to
the standard OF scores sired by the
son of the Moor, it will be seen how
great is our cause for felicitating our
selves on the matchless climate OF
Los Angeles county as it applies to
horse-breeding. Mr.. Rose realized
nearly thirty thousand dollars from a
sale OF his yearlings, and that under
circumstances not specially favorable
for high prices, for the colts had been
brought from a great distance and
the temptation to sacrifice them II the
bidding had been slow was naturally
great. 1t was a significant circum'
stance that Sultan was taken back to
Kentucky for breeding purposes by a
gentleman who paid a high price for
him. 1t was pleasant supplement
to this encouraging new departure
that the turf men of New York City
showed such keen appreciation OF the
Sunny Slope youngsters.
On all hands the evidence accumu-
lates that the great trotting and run
ming center of the United States will
be in California, and its very head
quarters will be in Los Angeles
county. Our readers have noticed
with pride the splendid performances
of the Santa Anita stables OF Mr.. E. j..
Baldwin. The running horses OF the
Los Angeles breeders have really
made it stand off with the whole
country. The names OF Volante and
the rest have been ringing from one
end of the continent to the other, and
it scarcely needed the cooperation of
the stables of Mr.. j. B. Haggin, with
his Ichi Ban, King Ban, and others,
to establish the claim of California to
supremacy on the turf. When we
reflect that the California horses have
had to meet legion competitors-that
the contest has been practically one
against thousand-we can realize
how tremendous our triumphs on the
Eastern turf have been.
Eastern breeders are beginning to
realize the great adapatbility OF Cal
ifornia, and OF Los Angeles county
particularly, for the raising of high
grade of both trotting and running
stock. The climate here, never severe
in winter, admits of the horse passing
the whole of every day, if need be, in
the open air. Our perennial grasses
are specially nourishing; while the
wild oats of this section, which grow
spontaneously on the hillsides, are
the very best food the race horse can
eat. Budd Doble wintered Oliver X.
and other famous and promising trot-
ters at the Agricultural Park last
season, and announced it to be his
purpose to do 50 hereafter. His ex-
ample will undoubtedly be followed
by many other famous turfmen.
The fortunate issue of Mr.. Roses
lucky and plucky auction sale OF year.
ling trotters in New York will unques-
tionably stimulate the breeding of
high grade horses in Los Angeles
county and California at large. Some
of the most extensive OF Mr.. Haggin's
stock farms are in Kern, our adjoin-
ing county, and Ventura, San Ber-
nardino and San Diego counties have
fine stables. We are justified in look
ing for great results from them.
